Proforma Invoice Numbers

[dmc_ss]

Hello,

 

This may have been covered already but a quick search didn't turn up anything related.

 

I just wanted to know what peoples thoughts are on the fact that the initial invoice number and the pro forma invoice number are not in sync.

 

For example the system generates invoice number 16 for a hosting package. That invoice is then paid a week later but the pro forma invoice number becomes PREFIX-14

 

I believe the pro fomra number should be exactly the same as the initial invoice number to avoid confusion with the client.

 

Or does this already exist. Do I turn off Sequential Paid Invoice Numbering and set the next starting and increment numbers to the same?

 

Cheers, David.

And i wish you the very very best of luck getting your clients to queue up and pay their invoices in a set order

 

No. the two numbering sequences have no, and need no connection to each other

I think you mis-understand. I don't want and\or expect my clients to pay in the right order, I expect the invoice number to be the same between creation and payment. The system does not generate TWO invoices, it generates one and renames the first invoice when it's paid (or it may delete the first and create another).

 

I know for sure that other companies I deal with outside of hosting would have a fit if they got invoices with different numbers relating to the same payment.
